So I setup a linode yesterday and this is my first real venture into setting everything up from scratch with linux. I followed this guide to setup logwatch which should allow me to email myself log files, it handled the postfix installation, but for some reason it doesn't work.
I've tried google that suggested some things, but so far nothing I've tried has helped, any ideas?
Code:
root@TIA568B:/etc/postfix# logwatch --mailto testing <AT> tia568b.com
root@TIA568B:/etc/postfix# cat /var/log/mail.log

mydestination = tia568b.com, localhost.com, , localhost
myhostname = tia568b.com
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128

smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache
smtpd_use_tls = yes
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
The pages I found suggest fatal: open database /etc/postfix/virtual.db: No such file or directory can be dealt with via postmap /etc/postfix/virtual.db, but for whatever reason this doesn't work with me.
Edit: I've tried creating an empty file at /etc/postfix/virtual.db before running postmap, but it postmap doesn't seem to do anything with it.
Any ideas? I'm sure I'm just being a complete newb here, but it's completely new to me and my google-fu is failing me
Working now
